Career Opportunities

They offered me the office, offered me the shop
They said I better take anything they got
Do you wanna make tea at the BBC?
Do you want to be, do really wanta be a cop?

[Chorus]
Career opportunities are the ones that never knock
Every job they offer you is to keep you out the dock
Career opportunities, the ones that never knock

(I hate the army and I hate the RAF
I don’t wanna go fighting in the tropical heat
I hate the civil service rules
And I won’t open letter bombs for you)

[Chorus]

OI! OI!

Bus driver!
Ambulance man!
Ticket inspector!

I don't understand.
They’re gonna have to introduce conscription
They’re gonna have to take away my prescription
If they wanna get me making toys
If they wanna get me, well I got not choice

[Chorus]
